An “Empowering Programme for Housewives on Healthy Lifestyle” will be organized in 30 localities throughout the island which would target around 1500 housewives. The Programme would start in October 2020 and would end by June 2021. The objectives of the programme are to – (a) encourage housewives to adopt a healthy lifestyle; (b) empower housewives with the required knowledge and skills for choosing as well as preparing healthy foods/ meals for their families; (c) teach housewives how to take anthropometric measurements (height, weight and waist circumference); and (d) show housewives how to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) indicator to determine underweight, overweight and obesity.
